said last night:
''There is better class of horses here
this year that was ever here before.
They have made special effort to put
themselves OH a par with st. Louis and
other fair associations of the best class
in the country. The grand circuit lust
closed last week at Springfield, Mass,
and the grand purses offered
were notably a three-minute stake
race for $500; 2:3O stake
race for $500: 2:22 stake
race for So ,000in conjunction with liberal
purses for number of class races, has
attracted the most prominent stables,
the most noted drivers and the fastest
horses in the country. 1t is wonderful
what a deep interest hOrSemen have
taken in these races, and it is highly
complimentary to the management that
these MEN should have shipped their
horses from such distances as Spring
field, Mass, New York and Poughkeep-
sic, by express at a great expense, to
enable them to be on the ground in good
season. The best horses in the country
will be here and the people of the North
west will be shown such racing as they
have never before SEEN"
